A state inmate and a female he kidnapped from a Claiborne Parish prison facility are dead, Sheriff Ken Bailey confirmed Thursday night.

Bailey said more details will come later tonight or Friday morning through a joint release with the Louisiana State Police, which is working jointly with the Claiborne Parish Sheriff's Office and David Wade Correctional Center officials in the investigation. 

From what little is known, the inmate, 39-year-old Deltra Henderson, who had trusty status, was reported missing Thursday afternoon from the state prison in Homer. He's accused of abducting a female, who was the step-daughter of an assistant warden who lived on the grounds with his family.

Henderson and the girl left in a vehicle taken from the prison grounds but wrecked not far away. Henderson returned to the prison property to get another vehicle and that's when he encountered authorities.

Henderson barricaded himself in a house, which was surrounded by officers. He fired at the officers and they returned fire. 

It's unclear when the girl was fatally stabbed. She was located in a wooded area.
